[QUOTE="Fearbreed, post: 5305462, member: 94616"] [b]???[/b] Did we seem to miss somewhere the fact that you do a d8 more dmg from the get go, or the fact you have reach? The d8 dmg gives you more base damage potential than Power Attack the moment you take it and has a higher damage potential that only costs a -2 to hit. That -2 also has a chance of being negated at some point while the -2 to -5 you take from power attack never can. All in all the feat really depends on how you create your character over the long run and what kind of game setting you'll be playing in. Monkey Grip can be extremely useful, far more than Power Attack, if you are in the right campaign. Its just like a cleric specializing in turning undead in a campaign that will only have a few middling level fights against undead, if any, while the rest might be against deamons. Or even a wizard who specializes in Illusions and ends up fighting undead all the time. Not all combinations are going to work all the time. But as a generic rule of thumb, in optimal settings Monkey Grip is a great feat. [/QUOTE]
